Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/fan_mail/new]  From the creator of the Into the Abyss Morbid Morsals Podcast, brings you a new standalone audio drama series not connected with the (Morbid Morsals) Gale In the ashes of a fallen Emerald City, now a hardened Commander Dorothy Gale leads the last Special Ops unit fighting to reclaim a world shattered by war. Her mission: reach Project Ruby Slippers, a one‑shot time‑jump that could stop the rise of the tyrant known only as Z. Z—once the Wizard of Oz—now rules the ruins as a ruthless crime lord, backed by an army of hybrid soldiers and a citywide web of spies. And he guards a secret Dorothy desperately needs. At her side stands the broken legends of Oz: Leo the Cowardly Lion — a human‑lion hybrid forged in Z’s labs. Jonathan Smith — the Scarecrow, a brilliant scientist battling a degenerative brain disease. The Tin Man — a hardened cyborg built for war. Together, they’ll infiltrate a city ruled by fear, confront the monster Oz became, and fight for a second chance at the future. GALE is a post‑apocalyptic reimagining of the Wizard of Oz—violent, emotional, and relentless. A world where hope is a weapon… and time is running out. You're not in Kansas anymore. Coming next year. A Darkshogun production and Twisted Souls Media.   Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/support] linktr.ee/IntotheAbysspodcast Email: thedarkshogun@msn.com or Intotheabysspod@gmail.com FB: @troybursch or facebook.com/into.the.abyss.podcast20231 IG: @into_the_abyss_podcast    Threads: @troy_bursch    YouTube: @thedarkshogun1 Shadow Swag Legion gear form: https://forms.gle/ALnGX3PpfGr9tcxS6 intotheabyssmorbidmorsal.podview.com https://theshadowdweller73.substack.com Support the show through Buzzsprout's support feature. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/support Refer a friend to Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=2132445 Dubby Energy:  https://www.dubby.gg/discount/ShadowDweller?ref=ukjhspkn Use the code:  Shadow Dweller at checkout for  10%  off your entire order.

Morbid Morsals. Season 3. Episode 20. The Lantern

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/fan_mail/new] The dead do not always stay buried. In the East, there is a month when lanterns burn through the night, and offerings line the streets. A month when the veil between worlds grows thin... and the hungry dead are allowed to wander. Most people know the rules. Most people follow them. But some warnings are written for a reason. And some spirits never leave. Tonight, step carefully into a chilling tale of ghosts, forgotten traditions, and the terrible price of being noticed by the dead.

Morbid Morsals PSA

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/fan_mail/new] Legion… gather close. This is Troy, creator of Into the Abyss: Morbid Morsels, stepping out of the shadows for a moment. I’ve been crafting this show for a little over three years, and every listen, download, follow, and message means the world to me. I love building these stories, these creatures, these strange corners of the void we explore together. But here’s something real—I don’t get a lot of engagement or feedback, and as an indie creator, that’s the lifeblood that helps the show grow. Not for sympathy… but because your voice helps shape the future of the Abyss. So if you’ve enjoyed the journey so far, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a rating. Drop a review. Tell me what you’re loving, what you want more of, or what you want me to sharpen. Spotify has the Q&A feature—you can comment on any episode. Apple Podcasts reviews help the show get discovered. You can even leave a recommendation on the Into the Abyss: Morbid Morsels Facebook page or over on Instagram. And if you want to dive deeper, I’ve got a free Substack, Whispers from the Void, where I share behind‑the‑scenes lore, character notes, story threads, and all the strange things that don’t make it into the episodes. All my links—Buzzsprout, YouTube, Substack,  Threads, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X—are in the Linktree, so you can follow wherever you haunt the internet. If you want to rep the show, I’ve got a Shadow Swag form where you can grab free stickers. And if you leave a review or share the show on your socials, I’ll shout you out on an episode. I’m also an affiliate with Dubby Energy and Doich Snacking Dough. Use my discount codes at checkout, send me a screenshot, and I’ll throw in a keychain, an air freshener, and some extra stickers as a thank‑you. And if you get stickers—show me where you place them. I love seeing the Legion out in the wild. I’m proud of how far this show has come… but the Abyss is hungry, and I know we can grow even bigger. Your voice, your reviews, your shares—they help the darkness spread. Thanks for being part of this. Thanks for listening. And thanks for helping me keep the Abyss alive. Now… return to the dark, Legion. The next story awaits. Also, let me know what you think about the Tasty Treats segment where I shout out other indie podcasters, creators, artists, paranormal investigators, light workers, etc. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/support] linktr.ee/IntotheAbysspodcast Email: thedarkshogun@msn.com or Intotheabysspod@gmail.com FB: @troybursch or facebook.com/into.the.abyss.podcast20231 IG: @into_the_abyss_podcast    Threads: @troy_bursch    YouTube: @thedarkshogun1 Shadow Swag Legion gear form: https://forms.gle/ALnGX3PpfGr9tcxS6 intotheabyssmorbidmorsal.podview.com https://theshadowdweller73.substack.com Support the show through Buzzsprout's support feature. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2152031/support Refer a friend to Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=2132445 Dubby Energy:  https://www.dubby.gg/discount/ShadowDweller?ref=ukjhspkn Use the code:  Shadow Dweller at checkout for  10%  off your entire order.
